NASA may build giant telescopes on the moon in your lifetime. Check out the blueprints.
From Business Insider: Gazing at the moon, you may see a face or a round of cheese, but some astronomers see the ideal spot for their next giant telescope.
They're already drafting blueprints and making proposals — some with cash from an interested NASA.
One moonshot plan would build a giant radio dish spanning an entire crater on the far side of the moon.
Another involves a giant triangle of lasers to detect ripples in space-time and trace them to distant collisions of black holes and massive dead stars.
